Chapter 379: Tomboy Recording Engineer

It turned out to be He Miao.

The girl in the piano room was playing the piano with her back to the door, but Du Xinghe easily recognized her from the girl's back as He Miao, the assistant recording engineer who had just come to the cloud world.

The reason why Du Xinghe is very sure of this girl's identity is that he thinks that this girl is quite a personality among the many female employees in the cloud world, and she belongs to the type that makes people impress at first sight, because everyone who sees her for the first time will think that she is a handsome little handsome guy!

Wei Yimin, a professional recording engineer introduced by Li Chuansheng to Cloud World, and now the chief sound engineer of Cloud World, accepted one of the conditions for coming to Cloud World to work, that is, he wanted to bring a recording engineer assistant over, which was the "tomboy" He Miao in front of Du Xinghe.

In this plane, all the top recording engineers have assistants, because recording is a very irritable and boring work with a lot of work, and the top recording engineers can't do everything themselves, their core work is to record the sound after entering the studio, and before recording, such as microphones, amplifiers, compressors, microphones with various style characteristics, the position of the microphone during multi-microphone recording, etc., are all handed over to the assistant to do, and the top recording engineers rarely do these things themselves, at most they are two sentences.

The fact that the recording engineer does not do these tasks before and after recording does not mean that these tasks are not important, such as selecting different styles of microphones according to the singer's voice and the style of the song to record the best effect, which is a very important job. For the average recording engineer, this preliminary work is even the key to whether the song can be recorded or not.

But for the top recording artists, they have a good taste for all kinds of microphones. As well as the effect of the amplifier and compressor, they know too well, even if they come to a new recording environment, they can form an experience after recording a few times, so that when they see the song and singer to be recorded, they don't have to try it at all, they can immediately know what kind of recording combination to achieve the best effect, then they just need to tell the assistant to ask the assistant to prepare the working equipment of the recording studio in advance that day, and he will go directly to record it when the time comes.

There are even some more powerful recording engineers, and the assistant apprentices they bring are very powerful, and they can even supervise the studio. Their assistants do the recordings.

The so-called prison shed. It is to listen to the singer's singing in the studio, to give the singer advice and guidance on the artistic level, and even to teach the singer to sing, sometimes the singer is too stupid. Comprehension is too poor. They also had to show the singer word by word how to sing it.

Usually an album producer who is a musician. He will personally listen to the singer's recordings and do the work of the studio. But there are also many production teams, and the production team is only responsible for the overall work. Do nothing else. is like Xiao Tianlang of National Entertainment, he usually doesn't go to the recording studio to supervise the studio, because this is really a waste of time and boring work, and it is also a job that is really angry with the singer, so he is not in a hurry. The super-big-name makers don't love the prison shed. In many production teams, there are musicians who specialize in supervising the studio for singer guidance.

In the recording studio, when there is a supervision studio, every work has to listen to the guidance of the supervision studio, and they control the overall situation of the recording. All the recording engineer has to do is to match the equipment, prepare the sound to be recorded, and ensure the quality of the sound, they will not teach the singer to sing, and they are not obliged to teach the singer to sing. At most, it will only help the singer correct the pitch and rhythm, and the singer likes to sing and sing, and it has too much to do with them.

The job of a recording engineer is to record, calibrate the pitch after recording, and then hand over the recording of the song to the mixer to mix.

Some sound engineers are lazy, and after recording, they hand over the unaligned project to the mixer, which is usually waited on by the mixer behind the scenes. In the recording work, the division of labor is very clear, whoever should do the work is who does it, and the correction of the pitch is done by the recording engineer, and if the recording engineer does not do it, he will naturally be scolded.

When Du Xinghe recorded "Little Bird" for Xu Nuo, he did all the work of a team by himself, recording, supervising the studio and post-mixing, the workload was very large, and under normal circumstances, these jobs should be divided into several people. So after he made it, Chen Hua and the others were extremely surprised to know that all the work was done by him alone!

Compared with the overall work of the production of zuò people, Du Xinghe is more experienced, especially the recording and supervision studio, these two jobs have little to do with his background in the Central Conservatory of Music, because these experiences are accumulated by a large number of actual battles, a high-talent student of the Conservatory of Music with rich music knowledge, if he has not been exposed to professional recording work, then he is as blind as the recording studio.

The reason why Du Xinghe is very familiar with the work of the recording studio is because after he was banned by Chengtian Entertainment in the last plane, he was in his friend's recording studio for a long time to help others record songs and supervise the studio. During that time, he accumulated a lot of recording experience.

That's why he can do a lot of recording work on his own.

This time, he invited Wei Yimin to come to Cloud World to join the music production team, and Du Xinghe's burden was much lighter, because when recording Yiyan, he found that Wei Yimin was not only proficient in recording, but also able to put forward a lot of very constructive ideas for Yiyan's singing, and was fully qualified for the work of a prison shed. In response to that sentence, a good recording engineer must be a good prison shed.

Wei Yimin's musical literacy is very good, the three songs in Yiyan's new album "Are You Okay", "What kind of man do you want", and "Once at a time" were all supervised by Wei Yimin, and He Miao served as a recording engineer, Du Xinghe just listened to the finished version at the end, and thought it was very good, so it was over.

This reduced Du Xinghe's workload for at least two days.

Speaking of He Miaolai, Du Xinghe saw it for the first time, and like others, he thought that this was a handsome 20-year-old guy with capable short hair! Her voice was also very low and neutral, until Wei Yimin said that this was his niece in the sophomore recording department of Fuwan Music Academy, and Du Xinghe knew that this part-time recording engineer assistant was a "tomboy" with a flat chest like a man!

Coincidentally, this He Miao and the chubby Lin Zhiheng in the cloud world are junior high school classmates, so as soon as they came to the cloud world, He Miao and the chubby were very familiar. Now He Miao can sing "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", which is probably seen from Xiao Fat.

From this point of view, He Miao may have seen most of the manuscripts that Xiaopang took to register, and obviously this song attracted He Miao's attention.

Du Xinghe is not taboo about his manuscript being read by He Miao, anyway, he took it for registration, and it is nothing for others to see.

In the cloud world, not only He Miao had the opportunity to see Du Xinghe's manuscript, but many people also had the opportunity to see it. For example, after the year, the young songwriters in their company's newly established music creation team will read the songs written by Du Xinghe to learn creative skills.

Some people will also discuss creation with Du Xinghe on some songs, Du Xinghe prefers this atmosphere, because he has long realized that with his own boost, the cloud world will not fly for long, so he pays great attention to cultivating talents, especially some young talents.

And He Miao, a genuine recording student of Fuwan music students, is naturally the object that Du Xinghe wants to focus on and cultivate.

At this time, He Miao, as usual, was wearing a long-sleeved white shirt that she liked to wear, with a dark brown half-sleeved overalls on the outside, dressed very neutral, and even tough. From behind, she was a completely emaciated boy.

Her singing voice playing the guitar is neutral and feminine, especially the voice during the climax, which is quite delicate, which is completely different from her usual voice. So much so that when Du Xinghe didn't see anyone just now, he didn't guess which female employee in the cloud world was singing!

He Miao's voice when singing also made Du Xinghe stunned when he saw her people, but Du Xinghe was not stunned by He Miao's feminine pronunciation, but because she was a person with incomplete five tones!

He Miao is from a formal conservatory, since she went to college two years ago, she has been working part-time as a recording assistant by Wei Yimin's side, she is exposed to a very large amount of music, and her ability to read music has been recognized by Du Xinghe, since she has seen "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", she will definitely be able to remember the score of this song. But now in some notes in the treble range, her voice is not very accurate, and there is a slight deviation, which greatly weakens the appeal of her singing.

As a recording engineer, He Miao must understand that singing like this is not conducive to the climax of this song, she can't subjectively let herself sing out of tune, she is pure singing out of tune, that is, the standard pentatonic incompleteness!

As mentioned earlier, there are usually two reasons for people with pentatonic insufficiency, one is because their vocal cords are not fully developed, resulting in dysphonia, and the other is also the cause of most pentatonic insufficiencies, that is, they have hearing problems and cannot accurately reflect the real sound in their minds, which will lead them to have defects in pronunciation. Just like the big insect of the era, Wu Zhilong, who is a hearing-type pentatonic imperfecta, desperately relies on acquired training to correct the pronunciation of the singing.

After listening to He Miao's singing in a hurry, Du Xinghe didn't know what kind of pentatonic insufficiency this girl was, if it was a vocal cord type, it would be fine, it would not affect her work, but if it was a hearing type, it would be too tragic, because a qualified recording engineer, the minimum requirement is to be able to hear the pitch, otherwise what else would they record.

Thinking of these, Du Xinghe suddenly laughed again, he realized that he was too worried, He Miao could be admitted to the recording department of Fuwan Conservatory of Music, then he must have had to take the listening test! If she has to have a hearing problem, how can she be admitted to the recording department? (To be continued......)
